For only ~$600, you can play this game with Team Secret.

Whoever the gently caress "Team Secret" is going to be in a few weeks is yet to be determined pending kicks.

It's pretty well hidden, but according to the schedule at http://www.dota2.com/international/replays/ the broadcasts will start at 9 am PDT during wild card/group stage and 10 am PDT during the main event. Of course, start of broadcast says nothing about when the actual games start, so I'm not going to expect to go to sleep at any reasonable time.

Those are actually pretty balanced groups.

Group A might be the more top heavy though. OG is near guaranteed top 4

Cutting down to two majors is probably the right choice but now the trophies won't make as much sense (unless they change them)

Bring back the Radiance trophy from DAC.

But yeah, if they can't manage to fit the second major before Chinese New Year, they should just do two.

My early prediciton is that the major this year will be The Shanghai Major and the one next year will be The Shanghai Major II

My UB predictions:

A: OG + Wings + LGD + Navi
B: Newbee + Liquid + MVP + Secret

Group B is definitely tougher. Last spot in UB B will be close, probably a tiebreak between Secret and EHOME. Group A is more top-heavy, with the top 3 set pretty easily, but I could see Navis spot getting stolen.

I want to see Jimmy and TNC beat EG but that's probably not going to happen. If anyone can upset in group A its going to be EG if they manage to show up.

So Fall Major, Spring Major and TI? Based on this, if OG win TI, it should be called a Grand Slam, right?

It's time for Fear to pass the torch of NAdota icon to Jimmy.

Although it would more appropriate if the torch was thrown rather than passed.

As an aside, does SingSing even play professional doder anymore or does he just crap up youtube with him videos?

Depends on how you define professional. He plays on Kaipi which does not win anything.

Sing was professional in the sense that he was leeching zai dry while they played together. Otherwise he makes more through streaming than some TI players will this year by winning games.
